<h3>Import MERIS Binned Level-3 Product</h3>


<p>This option allows to import MERIS Binned Level-3 data products into the Sentinel Toolbox.
    These data products provide the Level-3 statistics <code>mean</code>, <code>count</code>, <code>min</code>
    and <code>max</code> for a single MERIS Level-2 variable, e.g. Chlorophyll-a on a global, 9 km,
    integerised sinusoidal (ISIN) grid.
    The statistics for each variable is provided in a single
    <object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">     
        <param name="content" value="https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/">
        <param name="text" value="<html><u>netCDF</u></html>">
    </object> file.</p>

<p>For the ease of use, SNAP resamples the global ISIN grid to a global Plate Carr&eacute;e grid (Lat/lon projection).</p>

<p>MERIS Binned Level-3 data products can be freely downloaded from the
    <object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">     
        <param name="content" value="https://earth.esa.int/web/sppa/mission-performance/esa-missions/envisat/meris/level3/demonstration-products">
        <param name="text" value="<html><u>MERIS Level-3 Products Website</u></html>">
    </object>
    A description of the file format and the ISIN grid can also be found there.</p>
